So everyone’s saying mustard. Is mustard the new Scientology in Hollywood?

Most of your pizza chains are garbage.

Exactly, they were all done to death by Canadian comedians decades ago. It’s a pretty simple stereotype so there really isn’t anything more to work with. There’s deeper stuff that might play well to Canadian audiences but if your main target is Americans what else is there?

I’ve lived in Minnesota most of my life, both in the Cities and up north. The “Minnesota” accent is a myth. There is a “Range” accent (Iron Range), but so few have it that you’ve just about got to go into an outfitter well north of Duluth to find one.

That still doesn’t change my point about how dated the reference is.

Kroll Show is literally the only thing I can think of that made “Canada jokes” without just being the same hacky bullshit.

And that song only won because they couldn’t nominate “Shut your fucking face, uncle fucker.”

Yeah I’ve lived in Canada for all but two years of my life and in the main city I’ve lived in, Edmonton, basically nobody talks like Minnesotans. The only people I run into who talk like that tend to turn out to be from rural Ontario, half a damned continent away!

The Minnesotan accent is what Americans seem to think we all talk like. I have cousins from there and they sound more “Canadian” than anyone I grew up with

Counterpoint: Kroll Show. 

Tom Servo’s singing always gets a pass :)

Don’t tell Kevin Smith. Weed jokes and references to Canada are all he has left.

People still think it’s funny to say “blame Canada” almost 20 years after the South Park movie, so I don’t think this is going away any time soon.

HIMYM was great about it though. Everyone gave Robin a bit of crap for it, Barney went over the top the way he does with everything, Robin had fun with it though it didn’t define her, and they added in absurd stuff like the Canadian sex acts, Alan Thicke, and everything to do with Robin Sparkles to make it something…

Can I interest you in this beauty?

And Mac. Charles Robinson was the show’s secret weapon.

He was the nuclear option in the long war with Gary’s Old Towne Tavern.

Would gladly do 50 dollars and time served if it meant we could get him back. RIP Harry Anderson. Say hi to Mel for us.

i thought that WAS the post-modern ouroboros....

“literally something I did on my old show when I played an insane person”
